www.repeater-builder is looking for information on the various
models of current and older Icom commercial mobiles as to their
usefulness as remote bases or point-to-point links. Also we are
interested in the commercial mobiles, the amateur and commercial
repeaters with emphasis on:

manual 4.3 MB PDF file The service manual has a mis-print. On page 5-2 the resistor in the jig cable should be sized at 22 K ohm, not 2.2 K ohm. Even the Icom Knowledge Base Article on the topic has it wrong. |

That's actually a four button sequence, since the power on function is controlled by a keypad button. |

Icom BC-35 desktop battery charger manual with schematic 882kB PDF file The BC35 is the drop-in rapid charger for the ICM‑5, IC‑M11, IC‑M16, IC‑U16, IC‑2GAT, IC‑02AT, IC‑2AT, IC‑32AT, IC‑4GAT, IC‑04GAT, IC‑04AT, IC‑4AT, IC‑12GAT, IC‑03AT, IC‑3AT, IC‑IC-H2, IC‑H6, IC‑H12, IC‑U12 plus the Radio Shack HTX202 and HTX404. This unit has an almost-fatal design flaw whe used with a BP-7 that has one or more shorted cells: R39, R40, R41 and R42 are four 1/4 watt 1 ohm resistors in series-parallel which comprise a 1 ohm 1 watt resistor. A while back WB6GSO came to me with a dead charger... Everything seemed to work except that the battery pack wouldn't charge. A bit of disassembly and some looking around revealed those 4 resistors were burned up and the board under them was badly charred. Being in the charging current path they get hot when a discharged battery is inserted. In the BC35 these four are soldered flush against the circuit board with next to no ventilation, and are marginal in wattage to start with. If the battery has a shorted cell the circuit pumps more than enough current to generate more heat than their free-space rating. If your (normally 12v) BP‑7 has two or three shorted cells in it the radio works as if it has a (normally 9.6v) BP‑8 on it, but the excess charging current toasts the resistors very quickly. Save your circuit board by replacing them with a single 1 ohm 2-watt (or larger) device. The 4 original devices are mounted at the edge of the circuit board and the replacement can stand off the board a half-inch or so on its own leads, and even hang over the edge in the airflow. And if the unit is in daily service, do it soon, like this weekend. I had a one ohm / five watt ceramic wirewound in the junk box and that worked fine for GSOs charger. And he replaced the defective inserts in his BP-7s with new ones. Being in the prime coverage area of the repeater he hadn't realized that his radio was in (effectively) the low power mode. |

Data sheet on the rechargeable battery packs for the IC‑2, IC‑3, IC‑4, IC‑02, IC‑03 and IC‑04 series handhelds 226kb PDF file This includes the "amateur grade" BP‑2, BP‑3, BP‑4, BP‑5, BP‑5A, BP‑7, BP‑8 and BP‑70. Except for the BP‑4 they are recharged in the BC35 charger mentioned above (the BP‑4 is a holder for ten AA penlight cells). |

Data sheet on the rechargeable battery packs for the IC‑H16, IC‑U16 606kb PDF file This includes the "commercial grade" CM‑5, CM‑7, CM‑8, CM‑12, CM‑96 series. The trailing B (as in CM‑7B) indicates black plastic, a trailing G (as in CM‑7G) indicated gray. No trailing letter (as in CM‑7) indicated dark gray. All except the CM‑12 series are recharged in the BC35 charger mentioned above (the CM‑12 is a holder for ten AA penlight cells). |

Icom IC-706 Service Manual 29MB PDF file This is the HF radio that also does 6m. When coupled to a high-end repeater controller that understands what a HF remote base is (like a NHRC-10, or a Arcom RC210) this makes a dandy HF remote base... Just watch the pre-emphasis and de-emphasis! And note that the Icom command language in the 706 microprocessor has a firmware bug that Icom apparently will NOT fix no matter how many people report it (it's a 9+ year old design and they're too busy to fix it): The 706 series will not let you set the VHF/UHF CTCSS encoder frequency remotely. |
